    So I tried one of each of the cinnamon bun and red velvet oreos. I agree with most people here: the red velvet are better. The cinnamon ones are alright, but not really that reminiscent of a cinnamon bun to me. The cinnamon flavour is a bit weak I guess. Not bad, but I don't have any trouble not eating a ton of them (which I can't say about the lemon or mint ones, two of my favourites). I preferred the gingerbread ones over the cinnamon bun. I really like the filling in the red velvet though!
    Yeah, I tried four cinnamon Oreos today and had this problem. They were good, but the I was too caught up in the hype, especially after white fudge Oreos! I might try to microwave them like @hgycta mentioned. I tried the red velvet last year and didn't really enjoy them. :/

    At least I've got Girl Scot cookies soon!

    I'm confused about my Kodiak Cakes nutritional info. Everything in the database and on their webpage says its 130 cal for 38g. But my box says 53g is 130cal. The ingredients are slightly different from what is listed on the Kodiak cakes webpage as well: mine says 100% whole wheat flour, 100% whole grain oat flour, non-fat dry milk, dry honey, leavening, whey protein concentrate, and sea salt. On their webpage for this product (the original whole wheat, oat, and honey one), they list "Ingredients: 100% whole grain wheat flour, 100% whole grain oat flour, non-fat dry milk, dried honey (honey, wheat starch), leavening (sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate), egg whites, sea salt." So they seem to have replaced egg whites with whey protein and lowered the calories?

    These are REALLY yummy! I love how they're individually portioned, so I can freeze the pack and pull off a cookie or two and bake as needed. I usually make two in the toaster oven when I'm in the mood for a great. They're moist and sweet and chocolate-y and they don't have any of the graininess that some gluten free baked goods have!

    These are okay, I guess. I was just in the mood for some gummies and these were the only ones that I could find nearby without artificial colors. There's not too much to say -- they taste like gummies. I think Annie's taste a little fruitier, though.

    I saw this last time I went to Kroger and decided to get it since I had a $1.00 off coupon. It tastes really good! It's creamier than regular almond or coconut milk and it's sweet with just a hint of tropical flavor from the coconut. It's not too sweet, either. Just right!

    I didn't like the first spoonful of this that I tried, but Ii started to like it more and more as I kept eating it. By the end, I was licking the bottom of the container looking for more. It's sweet, but not cloyingly so. The peach brings the sweet, but the tropicalness of the mango helps reign it in. I normally try to avoid soy, but this was yummy!

    I prefer these to the Silk yogurts. They're thicker, and I like coconut milk more than soy milk anyway. They're a little too sweet to be yogurt, though. More like a dessert. I like the plain yogurt from this brand better.

    I think I'm in love with this stuff. It makes my coffee perfectly creamy and gives it just that hint of sweetness that takes coffee from a caffeine delivery medium to a treat. I'll have to keep my portions of it in check to make sure I'm not eating outside of my deficit.

    This was expensive, but I was really impressed by it! I made it as dinner rolls using the directions on their website. It was really easy to make, and everyone in my family loved it! Even my mom (who HATES everything gluten free) ate them and couldn't tell the difference between these and a roll made with gluten! The nutrition facts on it aren't too bad either -- this has a really good amount of fiber I it considering that it is a gluten free flour blend. I'll have to try some of their other mixes!

    Odd! Mine are 130 for 38g.

    Yup! Pop Tarts came out with three new flavors this year, and Oreos has cinnamon bun so far!

    There's a lot of new stuff to look forward to this year.

    I'm actually sad I didn't buy the sugar cookie pop tarts the only time I saw them.

    Has anyone tried the chocolate caramel ones? My issue I guess is that I mostly like pop tarts with ice cream, so the calories add up very quickly, lol.

    May I ask where you got this? I would love to break up with the Carnation version!

    Tried some Flapjacked protein pancake mixes this week. I liked the consistency and texture of all of them (made them all with almond milk only), and they definitely kept me really full. I was most excited to try the banana hazelnut and carrot spice flavors, but, meh...they were just okay. The apple cinnamon flavor was my favorite, I added a little extra cinnamon. Very satisfying breakfast!

    I liked the carrot spice but not enough to get them again, I found them a little dry and bland. The thing I liked most about them were they have actual shreds of carrot in them which I definitely found fun, and 100% of vitamin a per serving is incredible! Very filling, too. But again, very weak on the "spice" it supposedly has. You may want to add some extra cinnamon or something else to this one too if you get it!

    Kroger. I got pretty much everything at Kroger except for the gummy worms (got them at T.J. Maxx) and the bread mix (that was from work).

    I had the Kodiak flapjacks for breakfast today. Tasty! I think I undercooked it a little, judging by the texture, but maybe that is just the oatmeal. I did watch for bubbles to stop forming and such so I'm not sure. It's better than a biscuit-like texture from my P28 mix in any case! I topped it with peanut butter, cocowhip, and TJs Midnight Moo. Very filling and delicious.

    It's not new but it's new to me is the pb2 chocolate. I like it. And it's kind of a nice way to get a chocolate fix without destroying everything!

    This morning I mixed oatmeal with PB2 and cooked it in 1% milk, then stirred in 2/3 of a serving of chocolate protein powder... it was so good!

    I liked the carrot shreds, too! ;) I wanted to make it a little more flavorful, I might work on this soon, actually. Stay tuned, haha.

    Anyone try the thin Oreos? I saw the package and they have less calories, but didn't know if they used not have that perfect cookie balance.

    I prefer regular oreos. This is because I eat my oreos by twisting one half off, eating that plain cookie, and then eating the other half - I like a higher filling to cookie ratio. My friends who eat oreos in their normal sandwich form like the thins a lot. You can think of them as oreos with around 1/3 or 1/2 of the thickness in each layer (both cookie and filling).

    I tried the Oikos Triple Zero chocolate yogurt. I don't care for it - too sour, not enough chocolate taste. I prefer making my own (I add dutch cocoa, vanilla extract, honey, and some stevia to plain greek yogurt).

    Thin mint Oreos and thin regulars were pretty great.

    I'm one who doesn't twist the Oreos, so I like the thin ones. I didn't think there would be enough filling but it works well. Four cookies are a serving size.

    I want to try the Chobani hazelnut! yum!

    It's called Chobani chocolate haze craze. Chocolate hazelnut yogurt with mini chocolate chips and pieces of hazelnuts. I suppose you could make your own with some hazelnuts, chocolate chips, plain Greek yogurt and nutella though.

    That sounds so good!!

    I'm making my way through a package before I try the cinnamon oreos. I like them because you get 4 for the same calories as 2 normal ones. And they're yummy. I think there's a nice balance between the wafers and creamy filling too.

    Tried these for the first time. They were really good. I liked them a lot. They were kind of small though but VERY peanut buttery. Almost like eating peanut butter cookie dough or few spoonfuls of peanut butter. They reminded me of the larabar peanut butter cookie flavor but stronger. Strong "natural peanut butter" flavor not sweet peanut butter flavor like peter pan, etc. Almost felt like eating too much peanut butter so I wouldn't eat these a lot but once in awhile when I have massive peanut butter craving.

    One of Kroger's Freebies. This wasn't very good. I like Butterfinger, especially as a mixin, but it's no Reeses. I think it works better as a larger bar.

    I really like these!

    I love that the cups don't get stuck in your teeth like the regular version does.

    Oh man. Well I'm going to the store tomorrow but they said Wednesday in their ad, so we'll see.

    I finally found these at Giant 2 for $6.00! I went on Friday before the big snow storm (you know priorities haha), & almost put the cookies down because all the regular lines were overflowing. I ended up waiting in the self checkout line, but that was even a 5-10 minute wait.
